In an attempt to address rampant street shitting and litter from intravenous drug use new San Francisco Mayor London Breed has approved hiring separate cleanup crew to address the problems (archived). Six new poop patrollers and ten needle pickers will be joining an existing crew of four needle pickers in an attempt to cover the city's 121.4 square kilometers. The specialist natures of the cleaning crews raises serious questions of the cost necessary to expand cleanliness to the whole city, especially when contrasted to other Western hemisphere cities like Montevideo which utilizes scheduled crews cleaning all types of messes to sweep Montevideo's 201 square kilometers while deep cultural pressures prevent the adoption of a street shitting norm.

"Reality Winner" Gets 63 Month Prison Stay As Prize For Poor Leaking Hygiene
Reality Winner, a former NSA contract worker who made the mistake of leaking to Omidyar and Greenwald's honey trap The Intercept, has been sentenced to 63 months in prison after pleaing guilty. Reality Winner was identified through "anti-counterfeiting dots" which were helpfully preserved by The Intercept when they published pdf scans of the printed secrets she delivered to them.
Reality Winner will be spending her incarceration at Federal Medical Center, Carswell in Fort Worth, Texas at her own request. The length of the sentence is anomalously long for an unauthorized disclosure case. This demonstrates once again that a guilty plea is not a bargain.
Intel Adds "Anti Benchmarking" Clause To Licenses For Microcode Updates
Intel has begun attaching a license clause prohibiting comparative benchmarking to its CPU microcode updates (archived). Intel has spent the past year deluged with reports of critical flaws in their CPUs related to speed optimizations which fundamentally compromise the ability of their chips to be secure, especially in multi user systems. This fumbling by Intel to supress comparative benchmarks between patched and unpatched chips is only their latest attempt to paper over how much of their chips' fradulent speed advantage is lost with anything resembling effective mitigations1 for these engineered holes.
Note: It should be assumed these patches are not effective mitigations. ↩
Consumer Spy Software Left Piles Of Data In Exposed Bucket
Spyfone, a consumer targeted surveillance application has been found leaving data in an exposed "Amazon S3 Bucket" (TM)(R) (archived). Spyfone is marketed to consumers as a turnkey solution for monitoring their loved one's online activity, but the firm's storage practices offer the collected information to a far greater audience than the snooping consumer.
Measles Burning Across Europe
Reported measles cases in Europe are hitting record highs for the vaccine era (archived). While the number of measles cases had long been supressed by vaccination in Europe and the rest of the developed world, this resurgence of a very preventable disease joins other indicators of Europe's pivot towards more African standards of living.
South Africa's First Targets In Farm Seizure Program Are Private Hunting Reserves

Austria Raided Rogue Intelligence Agency In February
Reports1 are emerging that Austrian police raided one of their own rogue intelligence agencies back in February of this year (archived). The Austrian government was moved to issue police the order to raid the agency due to the Agency's rogue actions interfering with domestic Austrian politics. As a result Austria has largely been shut out of intelligence sharing operations with their NATO bretheren.
The current Austrian government has suffered ongoing tensions with common language neighbor Germany over the latter's destructive policies.
This story is largely buried in the mainstream pantsuit media by a headline featuring a single alleged refugee denied asylum in Austria. ↩
Nebraska Government Overdoses Man On Fentanyl
The government of Nebraska overdosed 60 year old Carey Dean Moore on the opioid painkiller fentanyl in combination with other drugs (archived). Nebraska selected Moore to involuntarily participate in their experiment due to Moore allegedly killing two cab drivers in Omaha during the late 1970's. Witnesses report Nebraska's experiment was a success without complications as Moore succumbed to death without meaningful resistance to the drugs.
Arrogance And Shit Comms System Kill US Spies In China
An investigation into the complete and systematic destruction of the US CIA's network of human assets in China which began in 2010 is pointing at the agency's communications system and hygeine as a substantial factor that aided the Chinese spy hunt (archived). The agency was afflicted by arrogance and lifted the system they had been using successfully in Middle East operations without giving much thought to the reality that China is an emerging power that managed to capture the bulk of the world's manufacturing within a generation, and perhaps China was more technologically sophisticated than the pashtuns embarassing them in the middle east.
The rapidly compromised spy communications network, arrogance concerning the security of the network, with the possible extra insult of one alleged defector broke the agency.
USG Sues Free Texas Radio Station Over Outlaw Broadcasting
The criminal organization calling itself the United States Government has filed a lawsuit in its own courts against married couple Walter and M. Rae Olenick over their free operation of a radio station (archived). The couple operated Texas Liberty Radio until 2017 when they lost access to their broadcast tower. The lawsuit has come out of the USG's impotence to successfully extort money from the Olenick family over "penalties" it alleges the couple owes for for exercising their power to broadcast on the radio spectrum.
The couple used the radio station to broadcast content from Alex Jones, a social media personality who recently had all of his social media accounts banned or suspended in a coordinated action by the third parties he had been dependent on (archived).
